I am a first year USD Law Student looking for 1 or maybe two female roommates to share a new really great condo only a block from USD.

We are four dudes all 2-3 years out of college who live in a house in Point Loma. We like to surf, mountain bike, camp, hike and be outdoors. We are all pretty chill and clean and looking for another Christian brother to share our house and enjoy life with. You would have your own room and rent would be around $525 plus utilities. We are excited to meet you so come check it out!
So it is the end of an eventful Friday here for us in Lira, Uganda. A group of us were able to walk into town and enjoy a bit more of the culture here. The streets are just continually full of people and shops. We were even able to find out that the US beat Spain in the Confederations Cup! Crazy I know.
Our main attraction for the day though was at the second night of our Kotel Leadership Summit where about 130 leaders in Uganda came to see how they could better help with the Restoration that is occurring here in Uganda. We were very lucky to have Kevin Relyea with us for Friday night and my did he deliver! His message was powerful and inspiring to the leaders who seemed to hang on every word not just Kevin spoke, but the words that came from our Father. For it is to Him all the praise goes for the work He is doing through us in Uganda. Not only are we serving, but we are continually being served by a gracious, welcoming, and beautiful Ugandan public.
Until the next update please continue to pray for not alone our team, but for the interns who are here for two months, and the other servants of the Lord that are here from different parts of the U.S. This house is completely max’d out and the love, joy, and unity is overflowing. Please pray for this to continue, for the Lord’s work to move through us, for an overwhelming amount of love and grace, and for the mental and physical safety for all of our teams. We miss you all and cannot wait to share every moment of this trip with you.
Blessings and grace be with you,
Uganda Conference Team

I have a great beginners surfboard I am selling. It is a 10 foot Surface soft top board. Its mint green, and has only been used 5 or so times. Its a great board, I’m moving to the east coast and I cant use it anymore. I’m selling it for $200. You can email me at Lstunden@yahoo.com and I can email you a photo. Thanks!Laura
I CAN’T BELIEVE WE DID IT!! I can’t believe it all came together….and came together smoothly! Looking around the room, seeing months and months of hard work and preparation, countless cross cultural mis-read emails, and many marathon meetings in attempts to coordinate a conference halfway across the world finally come to fruition was an incredibly sweet feeling of accomplishment. God is so good! After a while my face started hurting from smiling so hard but I couldn’t help it. The energy was incredible and the excitement was contagious.
Considering we’re operating in Uganda time, I think starting only a half an hour behind was quite an achievement. Adam and Sylvia did a great job of loosing up the room and casting the vision for KOTEL and our hopes of bringing empowerment and restoration to a country so desperately in need. Adam mentioned some joke about being polish and got a decent laugh from the crowd considering it wasn’t that funny but with Sylvia’s help, the crowd seemed excited for the weekend and eager to receive the stirring of God in their hearts. Ugandan worship is what I think worship will be like in heaven. There’s just nothing like it and I won’t even attempt to describe it in words now. You’ll just have to experience it yourself one day. But after an amazing time of worship, the crowd was definitely open and eager to hear Pastor Sean share. I knew he’d inspire and motivate but I had no idea he’d do it so well it’d bring tears to my eyes. There’s no doubt God’s glory was present and moving!
If you take a piece of paper and fold it in half it’s really not that thick. If you fold it in half again it gets a little thicker and again a little more. If you were to fold one piece of normal 8 ½ by 11 piece paper 52 times do you know how thick it would be?…..As thick as a phone book? A refrigerator? Actually it would be so thick it would travel to the moon! And even crazier if you folded it again it would travel ALL the way back! To me that’s incredible but that’s the power of duplication. I don’t think the true significance of what we are trying to do with this leadership conference really hit me until today. If each attendee were to share the impact of this conference to inspire another and then another and another, the power of duplication kicks in and with God a tsunami wave of restoration would sweep across Lira and into all of northern Uganda we couldn’t stop even if we tried.

Hello Flood Family,
Greetings from Lira, Uganda!
On behalf of Derek, Liz, Katie, Erin, Jamin, Luiken, Tobias and I would like to thank you for your prayer and support as we prepare to do God’s work through Kotel Leadership Summit 2009.
Getting to Uganda was quite the adventure that started at LAX. It was a long 16 hour flight to Dubai, which was our lay-over destination. The team, as groggy as we were from such a long flight all wanted the opportunity to go into the city and explore a bit. We figured that the best place to explore Dubai was the Mall of Emirates, which is complete with an indoor ski lodge. As the rest of us ran around the gigantic mall, Jamin bought a two hour pass to snowboard, for which he came out with a broken camera but a fantastic memory. Once we had our fun running around the mall, we headed back to the hotel to sleep what little we could before getting back on a plane and heading to Uganda.
The seven hour flight from Dubai to Uganda seemed like nothing compared to our previous flight of 16 hours. Our team was over-joyed to arrive at Entebbe at about three in the afternoon, and once we got all of our luggage, we all piled into a van and headed toward Kampala where we were to spend the evening. To all of our surprise, spending the evening in Kampala ended up being shorter than expected. When we got tot he guest house that we were going to spend the night in, we found out that we wouldn’t be getting much sleep because we were to be on the road at two in the morning to make it to Lira in time for church. The car ride ended up being just fine, and filled with about two hours straight of just about every song we could think to sing.
Once we got to the house in Lira, we were all excited to be greeted by the interns who had just arrived two days before us. We changed our clothes then had the joy of experiencing our first church service in Lira. Church in Lira is unlike anything I have ever experienced. We arrived a bit late as it was, and still managed to participate in three hours of the service. We were warmly welcomed by everyone, and the Holy Spirit is so clearly moving in this place.
Being at the house is quite the experience, because there are are two different teams living in one place. It is always quite the task figuring our transportation and which team is doing what, and when, but God has blessed us with amazing leaders who keep things running smoothly. We have all been able to bond over things like morning devotions and a mutual hatred for one rooster who decided to wake us up at around 4:30 on Tuesday morning. We had our revenge on the rooster at dinner that night. 
On Monday, our team had the opportunity to visit some of the sites where victims of the war fled to seek refuge. One of the sites which was called Barlonyo, was a site where the LRA brutally murdered over 300 people. As we visited this place, it was very bitter/sweet for everyone on the team because we were all aware of the trauma that this place was subjected to, but we could also see God’s healing hand at work especially in the joy that we saw while playing with the kids there.
Tuesday was a fun day of construction. We got to do some handy work where COTN is starting to build houses for the children who are orphans from the war. Our task was to move quite a few rows of large bricks to the location where the house were being built, which was gracefully accomplished with the help of an assembly line of the interns and our team as well as a few choice show tunes to keep the momentum going.
Wednesday, Adam’s team came in and we devoted the day to conference prep which truly payed off as tonight was the first night of our conference, which went really well. We will have more details about the conference in our next blog post.
Until then, we appreciate your continual prayer and support as we work to further God’s kingdom!
In Him,
Hanna Venizelos
